According to transfer news from Football.london, Chelsea are interested in signing Nicolo Barella of Inter Milan. It is also understood that Tottenham are the other club to register their interest in the midfielder.
As Italy wrapped up a flawless group stage in the Euros, there were many players who impressed. Nicolo Barella was one such star who lit up the side with his lively performances in the first two games. He did not feature in the last game as Mancini opted to rotate the side.
Barella was also central to Inter’s historic Serie A triumph last season as the Italian side lifted the league after 11 years. The 23-year-old has come a long way since his Cagliari days and is now one of the best emerging talents.
It has now been suggested that Chelsea are after the midfielder. Frankly, Chelsea don’t need too many new names in midfield, with the likes of Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic doing the job well. Nonetheless, it is just good sense to go after one of the brighter prospects in the game and refresh the options.
Barella has shown that he can step it up with the big boys when required. At just 23 years of age, he seemingly has an abundance of time to reach great heights. Chelsea can also try to use their Jorginho connection to help facilitate a deal. In any case, they will need to step it up given Spurs are also after him.
